Pitchforks (and hydrant wrenches) aloft!

Flower Power! We are neighbors who are interested in bringing some botanical beauty to the bike-lane

tree pits so we have persuaded the city to allow us to garden there unimpeded. Anyone is welcome to

join at any level of involvement. There are no dues and no formal meetings; Just a desire to keep

Chelsea tree-lined and flower-filled. Join us!

Three Plant Lists

From Luis whose pit is on 25th and Ninth:
The colored cosmos and petunias did well for me last year. Zinnias do well, are drought resistant and give lots of seeds you can save. I also have pansies that are already coming up on their own from last year. Echinacea are very hardy too. I am giving sweet peas a try this year-- am sprouting indoors now-fingers crossed.
